“…Previous studies found that childhood emotional abuse and neglect were associated with suicidal ideation and attempts in adolescents, particularly for serious suicide attempts [ 49 ]. Furthermore, childhood emotional abuse had indirect harmful effects on suicidal behaviours in adolescents [ 14 ]. Conversely, regarding the childhood peer victimization and childhood family life stress event scores, highly lethal self-harm was only associated with childhood physical peer victimization, whereas the other four SH subtypes were associated with the three types of childhood victimization and childhood family life stress event scores after the adjustment of covariates.…”

“…Emerging evidence supports a link between childhood adversity and SH. Exposure to childhood abuse increases the risk for later depression [ 14 ], NSSI [ 8 ] and suicidal behaviours [ 6 , 7 ], including a significant dose relationship between childhood maltreatment and lifetime suicide attempts [ 6 ]. Moreover, a history of childhood sexual abuse increases the likelihood of attempted suicide by almost 4-fold in childhood (4–12 years of age) compared to adulthood (20–29 years of age) [ 7 ].…”

BackgroundSelf-harm (SH) is an emerging problem among Chinese adolescents. The present study aimed to measure the prevalence of SH behaviours and to explore the relationship between childhood adversity and different SH subtypes among Chinese adolescents.MethodsA total of 5726 middle school students were randomly selected in three cities of Anhui province, China, using a stratified cluster sampling method. SH was categorized into five subtypes (highly lethal self-harm, less lethal self-harm with visible tissue damage, self-harm without visible tissue damage, self-harmful behaviours with latency damage and psychological self-harm). Multivariate logistic regression was used to explore the relationships between childhood adversity and different subtypes of adolescent SH.ResultsThe prevalence rates of highly lethal self-harm, less lethal self-harm with visible tissue damage, self-harm without visible tissue damage, self-harmful behaviours with latency damage and psychological self-harm were 6.1, 20.4, 32.0, 20.0 and 23.0%, respectively. Childhood sexual abuse and physical peer victimization were associated with each SH subtype with adjusted odds ratios (AORs) ranging from 1.23 to 1.76. Highly lethal self-harm was associated with childhood physical peer victimization, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, and emotional neglect. The less lethal SH subtypes (i.e., less lethal self-harm with visible tissue damage, self-harm without visible tissue damage, self-harmful behaviours with latency damage and psychological self-harm) were associated with childhood peer victimization, family life stress event scores and childhood sexual abuse.ConclusionsA high prevalence of SH exists among Chinese adolescents. The association of childhood adversity with SH merits serious attention in both future research and preventive interventions.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12888-018-1607-0) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Importance of emotional abuse as a risk factor for mental health conditions has been recognized globally. In 2015, for example, there were studies from Australia, Asia, India, and Portugal, in addition to a meta‐analysis of all published literature, reporting strong links between emotional abuse and depression, suicidality, and other psychopathology. Migraine is comorbid with a number of psychiatric conditions, particularly depression and anxiety .…”

Resultado: uma maior frequência do comportamento suicida entre as mulheres foi, também, o motivo mais frequente de admissão para tratamento no serviço. A autointoxicação foi mais comum nas mulheres e o enforcamento, nos homens. Na admissão de pacientes com comportamento suicida, foram característicos, das mulheres, o transtorno do humor e, dos homens, os transtornos devido ao uso de substâncias psicoativas. O histórico familiar de suicídio associouse ao comportamento suicida dos homens e à história de abuso físico ou sexual das mulheres.

Self-poisoning was more common among the women, while hanging was more common among the men. Upon admission for suicidal behavior, the women's characteristics were mood disorders, and the men's were disorders due to the use of psychoactive substances. Suicidal behavior in men was associated with family history of suicide, while among women, it was associated with physical or sexual abuse.
